Project: Write an Algorithm for a Dog Identification App


In this notebook, some template code has already been provided for you, and you will need to implement additional functionality to successfully complete this project. You will not need to modify the included code beyond what is requested. Sections that begin with '(IMPLEMENTATION)' in the header indicate that the following block of code will require additional functionality which you must provide. Instructions will be provided for each section, and the specifics of the implementation are marked in the code block with a 'TODO' statement. Please be sure to read the instructions carefully!

Note: Once you have completed all of the code implementations, you need to finalize your work by exporting the Jupyter Notebook as an HTML document. Before exporting the notebook to html, all of the code cells need to have been run so that reviewers can see the final implementation and output. You can then export the notebook by using the menu above and navigating to File -> Download as -> HTML (.html). Include the finished document along with this notebook as your submission.

In addition to implementing code, there will be questions that you must answer which relate to the project and your implementation. Each section where you will answer a question is preceded by a 'Question X' header. Carefully read each question and provide thorough answers in the following text boxes that begin with 'Answer:'. Your project submission will be evaluated based on your answers to each of the questions and the implementation you provide.

Note: Code and Markdown cells can be executed using the Shift + Enter keyboard shortcut. Markdown cells can be edited by double-clicking the cell to enter edit mode.

The rubric contains optional "Stand Out Suggestions" for enhancing the project beyond the minimum requirements. If you decide to pursue the "Stand Out Suggestions", you should include the code in this Jupyter notebook.


Why We're Here

In this notebook, you will make the first steps towards developing an algorithm that could be used as part of a mobile or web app. At the end of this project, your code will accept any user-supplied image as input. If a dog is detected in the image, it will provide an estimate of the dog's breed. If a human is detected, it will provide an estimate of the dog breed that is most resembling. The image below displays potential sample output of your finished project (... but we expect that each student's algorithm will behave differently!).

Sample Dog Output

In this real-world setting, you will need to piece together a series of models to perform different tasks; for instance, the algorithm that detects humans in an image will be different from the CNN that infers dog breed. There are many points of possible failure, and no perfect algorithm exists. Your imperfect solution will nonetheless create a fun user experience!

The Road Ahead

We break the notebook into separate steps. Feel free to use the links below to navigate the notebook.

  • Step 0: Import Datasets
  • Step 1: Detect Humans
  • Step 2: Detect Dogs
  • Step 3: Create a CNN to Classify Dog Breeds (from Scratch)
  • Step 4: Create a CNN to Classify Dog Breeds (using Transfer Learning)
  • Step 5: Write your Algorithm
  • Step 6: Test Your Algorithm

Step 0: Import Datasets

Make sure that you've downloaded the required human and dog datasets:

Note: if you are using the Udacity workspace, you DO NOT need to re-download these - they can be found in the /data folder as noted in the cell below.

  • Download the dog dataset. Unzip the folder and place it in this project's home directory, at the location /dog_images.

  • Download the human dataset. Unzip the folder and place it in the home directory, at location /lfw.

Note: If you are using a Windows machine, you are encouraged to use 7zip to extract the folder.

In the code cell below, we save the file paths for both the human (LFW) dataset and dog dataset in the numpy arrays human_files and dog_files.

In [1]:
import numpy as np
from glob import glob

# load filenames for human and dog images
human_files = np.array(glob("/data/lfw/*/*"))
dog_files = np.array(glob("/data/dog_images/*/*/*"))

# print number of images in each dataset
print('There are %d total human images.' % len(human_files))
print('There are %d total dog images.' % len(dog_files))
There are 13233 total human images.
There are 8351 total dog images.

Step 1: Detect Humans

In this section, we use OpenCV's implementation of Haar feature-based cascade classifiers to detect human faces in images.

OpenCV provides many pre-trained face detectors, stored as XML files on github. We have downloaded one of these detectors and stored it in the haarcascades directory. In the next code cell, we demonstrate how to use this detector to find human faces in a sample image.

In [2]:
import cv2                
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt                        
%matplotlib inline                               

# extract pre-trained face detector
face_cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier('haarcascades/haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml')

# load color (BGR) image
img = cv2.imread(human_files[22])
# convert BGR image to grayscale
gray = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

# find faces in image
faces = face_cascade.detectMultiScale(gray)
print(faces.shape)
# print number of faces detected in the image
print('Number of faces detected:', len(faces))

# get bounding box for each detected face
for (x,y,w,h) in faces:
    # add bounding box to color image
    cv2.rectangle(img,(x,y),(x+w,y+h),(255,0,0),2)
    
# convert BGR image to RGB for plotting
cv_rgb = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)

# display the image, along with bounding box
plt.imshow(cv_rgb)
plt.show()
(1, 4)
Number of faces detected: 1

Before using any of the face detectors, it is standard procedure to convert the images to grayscale. The detectMultiScale function executes the classifier stored in face_cascade and takes the grayscale image as a parameter.

In the above code, faces is a numpy array of detected faces, where each row corresponds to a detected face. Each detected face is a 1D array with four entries that specifies the bounding box of the detected face. The first two entries in the array (extracted in the above code as x and y) specify the horizontal and vertical positions of the top left corner of the bounding box. The last two entries in the array (extracted here as w and h) specify the width and height of the box.

Write a Human Face Detector

We can use this procedure to write a function that returns True if a human face is detected in an image and False otherwise. This function, aptly named face_detector, takes a string-valued file path to an image as input and appears in the code block below.

In [3]:
# returns "True" if face is detected in image stored at img_path
def face_detector(img_path):
    img = cv2.imread(img_path)
    gray = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
    faces = face_cascade.detectMultiScale(gray)
    return len(faces) > 0

(IMPLEMENTATION) Assess the Human Face Detector

Question 1: Use the code cell below to test the performance of the face_detector function.

  • What percentage of the first 100 images in human_files have a detected human face?
  • What percentage of the first 100 images in dog_files have a detected human face?

Ideally, we would like 100% of human images with a detected face and 0% of dog images with a detected face. You will see that our algorithm falls short of this goal, but still gives acceptable performance. We extract the file paths for the first 100 images from each of the datasets and store them in the numpy arrays human_files_short and dog_files_short.

Answer: As we can see from the results, the face detector is not completely perfect and detect face in 17% of dog images.

  • What percentage of the first 100 images in human_files have a detected human face? 98%
  • What percentage of the first 100 images in dog_files have a detected human face? 17%
In [4]:
from tqdm import tqdm

human_files_short = human_files[:100]
dog_files_short = dog_files[:100]

#-#-# Do NOT modify the code above this line. #-#-#

## TODO: Test the performance of the face_detector algorithm 
## on the images in human_files_short and dog_files_short.
human_detections = np.sum([face_detector(img) for img in tqdm(human_files_short)])
dog_detections = np.sum([face_detector(img) for img in tqdm(dog_files_short)])

print('face detection in human image set = {}%'.format(human_detections))
print('face detection in dog image set = {}%'.format(dog_detections))
100%|██████████| 100/100 [00:02<00:00, 34.05it/s]
100%|██████████| 100/100 [00:30<00:00,  3.32it/s]
face detection in human image set = 98%
face detection in dog image set = 17%

We suggest the face detector from OpenCV as a potential way to detect human images in your algorithm, but you are free to explore other approaches, especially approaches that make use of deep learning :). Please use the code cell below to design and test your own face detection algorithm. If you decide to pursue this optional task, report performance on human_files_short and dog_files_short.

### Feel free to use as many code cells as needed.

Step 2: Detect Dogs

In this section, we use a pre-trained model to detect dogs in images.

Obtain Pre-trained VGG-16 Model

The code cell below downloads the VGG-16 model, along with weights that have been trained on ImageNet, a very large, very popular dataset used for image classification and other vision tasks. ImageNet contains over 10 million URLs, each linking to an image containing an object from one of 1000 categories.

In [6]:
import torch
import torchvision.models as models

# define VGG16 model
VGG16 = models.vgg16(pretrained=True)

# check if CUDA is available
use_cuda = torch.cuda.is_available()

# move model to GPU if CUDA is available
if use_cuda:
    VGG16 = VGG16.cuda()
Downloading: "https://download.pytorch.org/models/vgg16-397923af.pth" to /root/.torch/models/vgg16-397923af.pth
100%|██████████| 553433881/553433881 [00:08<00:00, 65237587.44it/s] 

Given an image, this pre-trained VGG-16 model returns a prediction (derived from the 1000 possible categories in ImageNet) for the object that is contained in the image.

(IMPLEMENTATION) Making Predictions with a Pre-trained Model

In the next code cell, you will write a function that accepts a path to an image (such as 'dogImages/train/001.Affenpinscher/Affenpinscher_00001.jpg') as input and returns the index corresponding to the ImageNet class that is predicted by the pre-trained VGG-16 model. The output should always be an integer between 0 and 999, inclusive.

Before writing the function, make sure that you take the time to learn how to appropriately pre-process tensors for pre-trained models in the PyTorch documentation.

In [7]:
from PIL import Image
import torchvision.transforms as transforms

def VGG16_predict(img_path):
    '''

    predicted ImageNet class for image at specified path

    normalize = transforms.Normalize(mean=[0.485, 0.456, 0.406],
                                     std=[0.229, 0.224, 0.225])
    transforms_img = transforms.Compose([transforms.Resize(224),
                                     transforms.CenterCrop(224),
                                     transforms.ToTensor(),
                                     normalize])
    
    img_tensor = transforms_img(img).float()
    
    # PyTorch pretrained models expect the Tensor dims to be (num input imgs, num color channels, height, width).
    # Currently however, we have (num color channels, height, width); let's fix this by inserting a new axis.
    img_tensor.unsqueeze_(0)  # Insert the new axis at index 0 i.e. in front of the other axes/dims.
    
    if use_cuda:
        img_tensor = img_tensor.cuda()
    
    VGG16.eval()
    output = VGG16(img_tensor) # Returns a Tensor of shape (batch, num class labels)
    output = output.cpu()
    #Variable has a .data attribute. This is a torch Tensor, which has a .numpy() method, 
    #which gives us a numpy array. We can call .argmax() on the numpy array to get the index of the maximum element.
    index = output.data.numpy().argmax()
    return index # predicted class index

(IMPLEMENTATION) Write a Dog Detector

While looking at the dictionary, you will notice that the categories corresponding to dogs appear in an uninterrupted sequence and correspond to dictionary keys 151-268, inclusive, to include all categories from 'Chihuahua' to 'Mexican hairless'. Thus, in order to check to see if an image is predicted to contain a dog by the pre-trained VGG-16 model, we need only check if the pre-trained model predicts an index between 151 and 268 (inclusive).

Use these ideas to complete the dog_detector function below, which returns True if a dog is detected in an image (and False if not).

In [8]:
### returns "True" if a dog is detected in the image stored at img_path
def dog_detector(img_path):
    ## TODO: Complete the function.
    index = VGG16_predict(img_path)
    
    return (151 <= index & index <= 268) # true/false

(IMPLEMENTATION) Assess the Dog Detector

Question 2: Use the code cell below to test the performance of your dog_detector function.

  • What percentage of the images in human_files_short have a detected dog?
  • What percentage of the images in dog_files_short have a detected dog?

Answer:

  • What percentage of the images in human_files_short have a detected dog? 0%
  • What percentage of the images in dog_files_short have a detected dog? 100%

Step 3: Create a CNN to Classify Dog Breeds (from Scratch)

Now that we have functions for detecting humans and dogs in images, we need a way to predict breed from images. In this step, you will create a CNN that classifies dog breeds. You must create your CNN from scratch (so, you can't use transfer learning yet!), and you must attain a test accuracy of at least 10%. In Step 4 of this notebook, you will have the opportunity to use transfer learning to create a CNN that attains greatly improved accuracy.

We mention that the task of assigning breed to dogs from images is considered exceptionally challenging. To see why, consider that even a human would have trouble distinguishing between a Brittany and a Welsh Springer Spaniel.

Brittany Welsh Springer Spaniel

It is not difficult to find other dog breed pairs with minimal inter-class variation (for instance, Curly-Coated Retrievers and American Water Spaniels).

Curly-Coated Retriever American Water Spaniel

Likewise, recall that labradors come in yellow, chocolate, and black. Your vision-based algorithm will have to conquer this high intra-class variation to determine how to classify all of these different shades as the same breed.

Yellow Labrador Chocolate Labrador Black Labrador

We also mention that random chance presents an exceptionally low bar: setting aside the fact that the classes are slightly imabalanced, a random guess will provide a correct answer roughly 1 in 133 times, which corresponds to an accuracy of less than 1%.

Remember that the practice is far ahead of the theory in deep learning. Experiment with many different architectures, and trust your intuition. And, of course, have fun!

(IMPLEMENTATION) Specify Data Loaders for the Dog Dataset

Use the code cell below to write three separate data loaders for the training, validation, and test datasets of dog images (located at dog_images/train, dog_images/valid, and dog_images/test, respectively). You may find this documentation on custom datasets to be a useful resource. If you are interested in augmenting your training and/or validation data, check out the wide variety of transforms!

Question 3: Describe your chosen procedure for preprocessing the data.

  • How does your code resize the images (by cropping, stretching, etc)? What size did you pick for the input tensor, and why?
  • Did you decide to augment the dataset? If so, how (through translations, flips, rotations, etc)? If not, why not?

Answer:

  • All images are resized and used all color channel to 224x224x3 and normalized. All pre-trained models expect input images normalized in the same way, i.e. mini-batches of 3-channel RGB images of shape (3 x H x W), where H and W are expected to be at least 224.
  • Only training images receive further augmentation by flipping the images horizontally and 10 degree of rotation. These augmentations should help our model generalize and reduce overfitting. Overfitting is a general problem in our experiment. Some methods used to preprocessing our data to improve the effect of model training and alleviate the effect of overfitting are:
    1. Crop: Random Cropping is a common method in augmentation, which is to randomly sample a section from the original image and resize it to its original image size. In our experiment, we randomly extract a 224 × 224 pixels section from 256 × 256 pixels.
    2. Flip: Each image can be flipped horizontally and vertically. In our task, images are just flipped horizontally.
    3. Rotation: Each image can be rotate. In our task, images are roated 10 degree.

Question 4: Outline the steps you took to get to your final CNN architecture and your reasoning at each step.

Answer:

  • Five convolution layers are used all with the colvolution of size = 3, stride = 1 and padding = 1. Five convolutional layers are defined with 16/32/64/128/256 filters respectively, each followed by a max pooling layer.
  • Also two connected linear layer at the end are used.
  • Relu activations are used after each layers except the last one.
  • Max pooling layers of 2*2 are applied.
  • Batch normalized are applied after each max pooling.
  • Dropout is applied with the probability of 0.2.

Step 4: Create a CNN to Classify Dog Breeds (using Transfer Learning)

You will now use transfer learning to create a CNN that can identify dog breed from images. Your CNN must attain at least 60% accuracy on the test set.

(IMPLEMENTATION) Specify Data Loaders for the Dog Dataset

Use the code cell below to write three separate data loaders for the training, validation, and test datasets of dog images (located at dogImages/train, dogImages/valid, and dogImages/test, respectively).

If you like, you are welcome to use the same data loaders from the previous step, when you created a CNN from scratch.

Question 5: Outline the steps you took to get to your final CNN architecture and your reasoning at each step. Describe why you think the architecture is suitable for the current problem.

Answer:

  • Transfer learning involves taking a pre-trained neural network and adapting the neural network to a new, different data set. Depending on the size of the new data set, and the similarity of the new data set to the original data set.

  • Since our data set is small CONVNET AS FIXED FEATURE EXTRACTOR method are used ( https://pytorch.org/tutorials/beginner/transfer_learning_tutorial.html):

    1. slice off the end of the neural network
    2. freeze all the network except the final layer. We need to set requires_grad == False to freeze the parameters so that the gradients are not computed in backward().
    3. add a new fully connected layer that matches the number of classes in the new data set
    4. randomize the weights of the new fully connected layer; freeze all the weights from the pre-trained network
    5. train the network to update the weights of the new fully connected layer
  • In our task, we need to classify 133 breeds of dogs from only approximatly 6600 images. We do not have sufficient training data to train a new and complex model that can perform well on testing dataset. Thus, we directly download different models ,such as ResNet18, VGG16, and DenseNet161 from Pytorch which we use as our framework. But the weights on the last layer of each model are exactly random and the number of categories in outputs of each model is different from 133 that we need. In order to fix it, we freeze all layer but the last. Freezing is to make the layer weights invariant during training. We also add one fully connected layers to replace the last layer of each pre-trained model.

  • After viewing the test accuracy for different models and reading this paper http://noiselab.ucsd.edu/ECE228/Reports/Report18.pdf , I decided to select DenseNet161 model. This model has performed well on a similar dataset. I also checked vgg16 and resnet18 models.

(IMPLEMENTATION) Predict Dog Breed with the Model

Write a function that takes an image path as input and returns the dog breed (Affenpinscher, Afghan hound, etc) that is predicted by your model.

In [23]:
### TODO: Write a function that takes a path to an image as input
### and returns the dog breed that is predicted by the model.

# list of class names by index, i.e. a name can be accessed like class_names[0]
class_names = [item[4:].replace("_", " ") for item in train_data.classes]

def predict_breed_transfer(img_path):
    # load the image and return the predicted breed
    img = Image.open(img_path)
    normalize = transforms.Normalize(mean=[0.485, 0.456, 0.406],
                                     std=[0.229, 0.224, 0.225])
    preprocess = transforms.Compose([transforms.Resize(224),

                                     transforms.ToTensor(),
                                     normalize])
    img_tensor = preprocess(img).float()
    img_tensor.unsqueeze_(0)  # Insert the new axis at index 0 i.e. in front of the other axes/dims.
    if use_cuda:
        img_tensor = (img_tensor.cuda())        
    model_transfer.eval()
    output = model_transfer(img_tensor) # Returns a Tensor of shape (batch, num class labels)
    output = output.cpu()
    predict_index = output.data.numpy().argmax() # Our prediction will be the index of the class label with the largest value.
    return predict_index, class_names[predict_index], train_data.classes[predict_index] 

Step 5: Write your Algorithm

Write an algorithm that accepts a file path to an image and first determines whether the image contains a human, dog, or neither. Then,

  • if a dog is detected in the image, return the predicted breed.
  • if a human is detected in the image, return the resembling dog breed.
  • if neither is detected in the image, provide output that indicates an error.

You are welcome to write your own functions for detecting humans and dogs in images, but feel free to use the face_detector and human_detector functions developed above. You are required to use your CNN from Step 4 to predict dog breed.

Some sample output for our algorithm is provided below, but feel free to design your own user experience!

Sample Human Output

(IMPLEMENTATION) Write your Algorithm

In [24]:
### TODO: Write your algorithm.
### Feel free to use as many code cells as needed.
import matplotlib.image as mpimg

def run_app(img_path):
    ## handle cases for a human face, dog, and neither
    is_human = face_detector(img_path)
    is_dog = dog_detector(img_path)
    pred_index, breed, name = predict_breed_transfer(img_path)
    fig = plt.figure(figsize=(25,4))
    if is_human:
        print('Namaste Human !')
        ax = fig.add_subplot(1,2,1)

        file = np.random.choice(os.listdir(subdir))
        path = '/'.join([subdir, file])
        ax = fig.add_subplot(1,2,2)
        img = mpimg.imread(path)
        ax.imshow(img.squeeze(), cmap="gray", interpolation='nearest')
        plt.title(breed)
        plt.axis('off')
        plt.show()   
        print("You look like " + breed)
        print("\n"*3)
    elif is_dog:
        print("Hey... What's up DOG?!")
        ax = fig.add_subplot(1,2,1)
        img = mpimg.imread(img_path)
        ax.imshow(img)
        plt.title(breed)
        plt.axis('off')
        plt.show()   
        print("You look like " + breed)
        print("\n"*3)
    else:
        print('Error!... I can not determine what you are!')

        img = mpimg.imread(img_path)
        ax.imshow(img)
        plt.axis('off')
        plt.show()    
        print("\n"*3)   
    return

Step 6: Test Your Algorithm

In this section, you will take your new algorithm for a spin! What kind of dog does the algorithm think that you look like? If you have a dog, does it predict your dog's breed accurately? If you have a cat, does it mistakenly think that your cat is a dog?

(IMPLEMENTATION) Test Your Algorithm on Sample Images!

Test your algorithm at least six images on your computer. Feel free to use any images you like. Use at least two human and two dog images.

Question 6: Is the output better than you expected :) ? Or worse :( ? Provide at least three possible points of improvement for your algorithm.

Answer: (Three possible points for improvement)

  • The acheived test accuracy of my algorithm is 88% that is excellent. Algorithm works well in detecting if pictures contain a human face or a dog. The results from running my algorithm on the files in the 'human_files' and 'dog_files' directory are excellent. All of the dog breeds appear to be correctly classified, or at least very good guesses. The output of my images in 'test_images' directory are excelent as unexpected. It is not misclassifed the cat images as a dog!!
  • Some possible points of improvement:
    1. data augmentation to have a better model generalizer such as flipping, rotation, cropping, position shifts, color channel shifts, ...
    2. improve the data train set
    3. select the best optimizer
    4. select the best learning rate
